The Twitter Poll and Follow Up

4 days ago, I (@HiveTrending) Tweeted a poll to which 93 Hivers responded. Here are the latest results: Please excuse my dumbass typo. It should say "Life" not "Live".

Based on this feedback, I decided to start new experiments. Three of them, maybe more. The "Trending on Hive" account tweets out links to trending posts with the #hive tag. There is a lot more great content to highlight. Thus, today, three new Twitter channels are born.

If you'd like to see more hive content in your Twitter feed, please give these a follow.

Future Work

@ericwilson came up with a great idea: To enable curation communities to easily share curated posts on Twitter. It should be possible to do this using Hive database API. It will require a few code changes to HiveRSS. Work in progress.

A few other people have asked me to hook up their blogs to their Twitter accounts, and I owe guys a "how to" post to explain the steps for setting this up. I'll do it soon, I promise!

steem or hive or whatever is meant to be used for fucking social media not this bullshit breakaway civilization here you try to have like a few thousand people and pretend its a million

fucking put ur shit on Instagram twitter and Youtube and use the #share2steem or #share2hive hashtag AND THEN it will AUTO POST (after u give the share2steem.io site ur posting keys) or it used it, noiw its not working, maybe @enginewitty can make @altyes work EXACTLY like share2steem otherwise its USELESS and so is hive or steem

its ONLY USEFUL when u can use it SEAMLESSLy withga HASHTAG

i guess u guys never atcually got to use steem at its peak when u could just use a #share2steem hashtag and have ur tweet shopw up on steem and then u just collect ur paycheck 7 days later no bullshit

we could have even had upvote tweet like sensing to allow curation FROM twitter api

we were close

but nah no one wants toa ctually work on making steem an OVERLAY to work on social media so we can reward peopek upvotes for tweets and instagram posst and use steem as a BACK END LAYER

That's a little loud, but I agree with the main points. Just interacting with each other in our little Hive echo-chamber, doesn't really seem to make much sense to me. Demonstrating the power of Hive (censorship-free, crypto-rewarded content-creation, etc) on other platforms makes Hive a lot more visible to the outside world.

Very cool! I'll have to dig in to see what I can put together. I won't be able to use HiveRSS though because I'll want the trending to go off SPORTS token distribution vs Hive. I guess I can give it a shot with another RSS feed on IFTTT though.
